Honami Yoshida (2021) Lessons Learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake
A book published by springer. The subtitle is "Birth Outcomes in a Catastrophe in a Highly Aged Society." From the website of the book. "This book provides insights into the enormous impact of fetal and newborn loss in the aftermath of the natural disasters that Japanese society constantly has to face. It first reveals effect of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 on the next generation and reproductive attitudes and shows that prenatal care strategies for emergencies had not been established by any local government in Japan. With continuing research on birth outcomes in the area surrounding the catastrophe, the authors emphasize the importance of the pre-hospital obstetric care team in disaster response and highlight the inequality in health care in a highly aging society like Japan, where perinatal health care is given lower priority than elderly care. Following the creation of a specialized project for pre and postnatal care the authors conducted surveys on how community preparedness in maternal and child health for post-disaster areas impacted population changes. This book is a valuable resource for researchers who are interested in the association between rapid population decline and the disaster management system for maternal and child health, as well as the effect of culture, gender bias, and family traditions."
Springerから出版された本の紹介ページ。 サブタイトルは「高齢化社会を襲った大災害時の出生」。 ウェブサイトの紹介文は次の通り。 「本書は、日本社会が常に直面している自然災害後の胎児や新生児の喪失の大きな影響についての洞察を提供しています。まず、東日本大震災が次世代と出生への意識に与えた影響を明らかにし、日本のどの自治体でも緊急時の出産前ケア対策が確立されていないことを示しています。また、震災周辺地域での出生状況の継続的な調査により、災害対応における病院外の産科医療チームの重要性を強調するとともに、日本のような高度高齢化社会では、周産期医療の優先順位が高齢者医療よりも低いという医療の不平等性を浮き彫りにしています。著者らは、産前産後ケアの専門プロジェクトを立ち上げた後、災害後の母子保健におけるコミュニティの備えが人口の変化にどのような影響を与えるかについて調査を行いました。本書は、急激な人口減少と母子保健の防災体制との関連性や、文化、ジェンダーバイアス、家族の伝統などの影響に関心のある研究者にとって貴重な資料となるものです。」
